What will be
An optional registration to uniquely identify you
You will have an id and password that you can login with to let other people know that you are you. This id will be shown on the scoreboard.
A way to find people
You will be able to find your friends, clan mates and enemies.
What it won't be
It will never be a requirement
We want Teeworlds to be a game that you just can download and play without any hassle.
It will not be a mean to reserve a nick
You will never be able to reserve a nick. Your user name will be displayed along with your current nick name in the score board.
It will not be used to ban people
As it isn't a requirement, it will be quite useless to ban people by their user.
